the first bit makes (some) sense
in that a big event may be a terrist target.
The rest of it is plain hokum, just find everything in the Olympics that divides by 5 (most stuff does) and then string a crackpot theory round it.
The cost of the Olympics is £81 Million???? I wish!

well,
it's like this, the majority of the pubs in my chain are in london, there are a few outside of London. So, although the brands main competitor is geronimo, outside of London, the few of us that are out of london, compete with the independnet pubs in our area.
its not complicated.

i love a good serial killer documentary,
have you seen the one about the "ice man" where it's just one long interview with a very calm, mafia hit man. interspersed with shots of his wife and kids who he is obviously completely in love with, and the crime scenes, where you get the impression he loved his work a little too much. Really creepy viw of the human psyche.
